HOW TO MAKE JEWELRY



Handmade jewelry is HOT. There's a reason why so many crafty designer types
choose to make jewelry, whether to sell, to give to others, or for themselves.
So many do it, because people LOVE handmade jewelry. They love to buy it, they
love to wear it, and they love to gift it. So many of us are little magpies
aren't we?

WHAT'S YOUR POISON?


For the silversmith, metal worker, or enamelist: Try one of these fascinating
starting points:


INTERMEDIATE TYPES

I'm an intermediate to expert type myself so I know the passion you have for
learning new techniques and finding easier and better ways to perfect your
favorite techniques.

For the silversmith, metal worker, or enamelist: Try one of these fascinating
starting points:

SILVER JEWELRY MAKING


For the aspiring silversmith learning the techniques for how to make silver
jewelry: This earring tutorial will teach you key silversmithing techniques
like...

 * Piercing

 * Using a butane torch to ball wire

 * Making wire-wrapped loops

 * Forging (or as I like to call it, taking out your frustrations on poor
   defenseless metal)
   

 * And how to make a brushed patina.

THE ANCIENT ART OF ENAMEL


Enamel is one of the hottest (get it?  Hottest?  Because your Kiln fire it or
use a torch? ) jewelry topics and a personal passion. The ancient art of enamel
(the art of fusing glass to metal) is fascinating. It's said it Enameling is
easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master. Test that saying out for yourself
with some detailed enamel tutorials and projects.

FOLD FORMING


Fold forming: Just check this one out. It's so cool. 'Nuff said.


BEADS, BEADS, BEADS


FOR THE BEADER AND BEADWEAVER

Beadweaving,

I admit, is not my thing. Patience is not my personal virtue.  nonetheless,
there are some wonderful beadweaving projects by some of my more patient friends
on this site.  

Beading (the stringing of beads i can actually hold without tweezers and a
magnifying glass) I can actually do. And if I can, then anyone can.

I started making mommy bracelets a few years back. These have proven to be a hit
whenever a new baby is due or when mother's day rolls around.

These practically sell themselves. I get lots of inquiries every time I wear the
one I made for myself. If you want to make a great gift that people will rave
about, be sure to check out my free tutorials on these special bracelets.

bracelet

FOR THE MIXED MEDIA ARTIST


Resin jewelry making is a great mixed media technique. You can make make whole
pieces (like bangles) or you can use it to coat more delicate components like
paper collages or tiny photographs.

Into steampunk? Or just want to know what the heck it is? Take a look at the
steampunk jewelry making pages for some inspiration, and to share your work too.


SHARE YOUR JEWELRY OR GET INSPIRED

For projects and inspiration by fellow How-to-Make-Jewelry.com readers like you,
you can't beat my Handmade Jewelry Galleries! You'll find beautiful work in the
gallery. A personal favorite type of jewelry is necklaces. I can't get enough of
them. Looking at the necklaces and other jewelry visitors are sharing just make
me want to make more and more myself!

JEWELRY MAKING TIPS AND TRICKS

Get jewelry making tips and techniques to learn how to make jewelry more easily,
achieve quicker, faster results, and take your jewelry making to the next
level.  I'm a sucker for tips and tricks that make any project faster, more fun,
or more simple to complete.


FIND JEWELRY MAKING TOOLS AND SUPPLIERS


Everyone that makes jewelry has favorite place or two for getting jewelry making
supplies. I share my own favorites.


I've also started building a directory of materials for easy jewelry tool and
supply shopping too.


Glass supplies for enamel and lampworking can be found on the enamel supply
page.


Of course you'll also need tools. If you are a beginner just learning how to
make jewelry and wonder which jewelry making tools to use, which ones are best, 
and even more importantly, which ones are a total waste of money, you can learn
more too.

"Hey there, Christine - I found you on Twitter (or the other way around; don't
remember now *grin*); just wanted to tell you THANKS! You have THE most
informative blog! Great writing style, and cool things - particularly like your
"how do I get people to find my website" post; I'll be trying that myself in the
hopefully not-too-distant future, I've saved it and will be using your tips.

Appreciate your hard work - and for sharing it!"
